STEM and Makerspaces are commonplace in schools, supporting deeper learning and encouraging creative problem solving.
These specialist spaces need specialist furniture to support a different approach. Here students need to get creative, experiment and problem solve, so the furniture needs to support these activities. Writeable surfaces, wet areas, space to display, specialist LEGO tables, access to power and ample storage are some of the requirements . Our range of specialist furniture that will meet these requirements - and more.
Makerspace furniture should be flexible and agile. Items will need to be moved quickly and easily to allow students to switch activities easily and quickly. One minute working at high tables and documenting the problem, next minute on the floor mapping out an area for robotics.
Accessibility: A good makerspace should be spacious enough for different learning stations and any necessary equipment, while also allowing enough room for students to move between stations with ease.
Flexibility: makerspaces need to support various modes of working, so an ideal set-up includes spaces for group collaboration and individual focused work.
Ample storage: keep unused equipment safe and out of the way with clearly marked storage that is easily accessible to students. This also ensures your makerspace stays uncluttered and safe.
